  Sport Relief Action!

  To raise money for Sport Relief, the children came to school looking sporty today! And what a good thing that was, as they have been very active!! Children in Reception and Year 2 both took part in dodgeball tournaments, children in Year 1 could be found running around the field and skipping up and down the playground, whilst Year 4 ran the equivalence of all the way to Birmingham!

  A big thank you for all your donations - we raised a total of £417.27 for Sport Relief.

  Sport Relief 2016

  As you will be aware, it is Sport Relief on Friday 18th March. We would like the children to wear something sporty or non-uniform with a sporty accessory! This is also a great opportunity to share any sporting achievements. If your child would like to bring in any photos, vcertificates, medals etc, there will be an opportunity within the day to share them.

  Finally, classes will be organising a sporting activity to encourage health and fitness. We are just asking for a donation. Many thanks in advance.

• Pupil Parliament Visit London

  Thu 11 Feb 2016

  School Councillors Visit Houses of Parliament

  As part of the local Pupil Parliament, our Year 6 School Councillors and Mrs Price joined a group of over 70 pupils and teachers from other local primary schools to visit The Houses of Parliament in London.

  We had a fantastic day learning about democracy and the British government. We joined the galleries in the House of Commons, where Jeremy Hunt was leading a debate on junior doctors which was being broadcast live on TV, the House of Lords and the Palace of Westminster. We took part in our own parliamentary debate in attempt to pass a new law and we met the secretary of our local MP, who answered all our questions.

  We then has some time to take in the sights of London, including Downing Street, Horse Guards' Parade, Green Park and Buckingham Palace.

  It was a fantastic day and Mrs Price was very proud of our two impeccably behaved School Councillors, who were a credit to Torrisholme.

  In Key Stage 2, the children are all learning about the Mayan Civilisation.

  Year 3 and Year 4 are working together, learning about the lives of Mayan children and the different gods that the Mayan people believed in.

  Year 5 and Year 6 are also working together, learning about Mayan society and culture, Mayan writing, the different gods the Mayan people believed in and using their history skills to examine evidence.
